Let our watchword be: 'no indulgence only hard work, pleasure, and the unexpected'

I forgot I hadn't posted this extract from a review by David Hart on the Stride Website:

'When poets from Bulgaria (Sofia) and the N.E.of England visited each other as a group, opening themselves to the Balkan Exchange, there was more likely to be found an alertness, a discovering and not merely a knowingness. The eight poets spent in forays four years at it. The Bulgarian poems are here unreadable without knowledge of that script, but happily readable here in translation; and original poems by the English poets are here, and passport-type photos and biographical notes and an introduction, no indulgence only hard work, pleasure, and the unexpected.'
